Visitor Reviews of Villars
Paul Meyer from United Kingdom writes:
We're back again. Just popped in for the weekend, snow and weather fantastic. Good idea to watch the icy roads as we have just slightly redesigned the car on route. Still good news is last year's snowfall seems to have put some of you off visiting. Those who seems to think Zermatt was good last year, well I can assure you it wasn't following a trip to the well renown Rifflealp Resort which saw us doing more gardening than skiing. Having a week in Soll next week so I will let you know what it's like but one thing is for sure it's going to be very boring without our local Olly Reid of the Alps, Murphy and a large bottle of Louis.
Finest Ollon.
